We are thrilled to announce that Monroe is launching Kids Care Club for up to 30 students in grades 3rd - 5th. 

The KCC's goal is to teach compassion through philanthropy and to instill a passion for helping others. We will focus on service projects and fundraising for needs within our community and beyond. Students will learn about issues driving the need for such charitable work and will be actively involved in service projects and fundraising efforts for selected initiatives. 

Meetings will be held periodically (no more than once per month) at Monroe from 8:00 am to 8:30 am. 

Be on the look out for a Sign-Up Genius in an upcoming Mustang Minutes - space will be limited!
